1. I saw the Lord standing beside the altar, and he said: Strike the bases, so that the doorjambs totter till you break them off on the heads of them all! Those who are left I will slay with the sword; not one shall flee, no survivor shall escape.
|
1. I saw H7200 H853 the Lord H136 standing H5324 upon H5921 the altar H4196 : and he said H559 , Smite H5221 the lintel H3730 of the door , that the posts H5592 may shake H7493 : and cut H1214 them in the head H7218 , all H3605 of them ; and I will slay H2026 the last H319 of them with the sword H2719 : he that fleeth H5127 of them shall not H3808 flee away H5127 , and he that escapeth H6412 of them shall not H3808 be delivered H4422 .
|
|
2. Though they break through to the nether world, even from there my hand shall bring them out; Though they climb to the heavens, I will bring them down;
|
2. Though H518 they dig H2864 into hell H7585 , thence H4480 H8033 shall mine hand H3027 take H3947 them; though H518 they climb up H5927 to heaven H8064 , thence H4480 H8033 will I bring them down H3381 :
|
|
3. Though they hide on the summit of Carmel, there too I will hunt them out and take them away; Though they hide from my gaze in the bottom of the sea, I will command the serpent there to bite them;
|
3. And though H518 they hide themselves H2244 in the top H7218 of Carmel H3760 , I will search H2664 and take H3947 them out thence H4480 H8033 ; and though H518 they be hid H5641 from H4480 H5048 my sight H5869 in the bottom H7172 of the sea H3220 , thence H4480 H8033 will I command H6680 H853 the serpent H5175 , and he shall bite H5391 them:
|
|
4. Though they are led into captivity by their enemies, there will I command the sword to slay them. I will fix my gaze upon them for evil, and not for good,
|
4. And though H518 they go H1980 into captivity H7628 before H6440 their enemies H341 , thence H4480 H8033 will I command H6680 H853 the sword H2719 , and it shall slay H2026 them : and I will set H7760 mine eyes H5869 upon H5921 them for evil H7451 , and not H3808 for good H2896 .
|
|
5. I, the Lord GOD of hosts. I melt the earth with my touch, so that all who dwell on it mourn, While it all rises up like the Nile, and settles back like the river of Egypt;
|
5. And the Lord H136 GOD H3069 of hosts H6635 is he that toucheth H5060 the land H776 , and it shall melt H4127 , and all H3605 that dwell H3427 therein shall mourn H56 : and it shall rise up H5927 wholly H3605 like a flood H2975 ; and shall be drowned H8257 , as by the flood H2975 of Egypt H4714 .
|
|
6. I have built heaven, my upper chamber, and established my vault over the earth; I summon the waters of the sea and pour them upon the surface of the earth, I, the LORD by name.
|
6. It is he that buildeth H1129 his stories H4609 in the heaven H8064 , and hath founded H3245 his troop H92 in H5921 the earth H776 ; he that calleth H7121 for the waters H4325 of the sea H3220 , and poureth them out H8210 upon H5921 the face H6440 of the earth H776 : The LORD H3068 is his name H8034 .
|
|
7. Are you not like the Ethiopians to me, O men of Israel, says the LORD? Did I not bring the Israelites from the land of Egypt As I brought the Philistines from Caphtor and the Arameans from Kir?
|
7. Are ye H859 not H3808 as children H1121 of the Ethiopians H3569 unto me , O children H1121 of Israel H3478 ? saith H5002 the LORD H3068 . Have not H3808 I brought up H5927 H853 Israel H3478 out of the land H4480 H776 of Egypt H4714 ? and the Philistines H6430 from Caphtor H4480 H3731 , and the Syrians H758 from Kir H4480 H7024 ?
|
|
8. The eyes of the Lord GOD are on this sinful kingdom; I will destroy it from off the face of the earth. But I will not destroy the house of Jacob completely, says the LORD.
|
8. Behold H2009 , the eyes H5869 of the Lord H136 GOD H3069 are upon the sinful H2400 kingdom H4467 , and I will destroy H8045 it from off H4480 H5921 the face H6440 of the earth H127 ; saving H657 that H3588 I will not H3808 utterly destroy H8045 H8045 H853 the house H1004 of Jacob H3290 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
9. For see, I have given the command to sift the house of Israel among all the nations, As one sifts with a sieve, letting no pebble fall to the ground.
|
9. For H3588 , lo H2009 , I H595 will command H6680 , and I will sift H5128 H853 the house H1004 of Israel H3478 among all H3605 nations H1471 , like as H834 corn is sifted H5128 in a sieve H3531 , yet shall not H3808 the least grain H6872 fall H5307 upon the earth H776 .
|
|
10. By the sword shall all sinners among my people die, those who say, "Evil will not reach or overtake us."
|
10. All H3605 the sinners H2400 of my people H5971 shall die H4191 by the sword H2719 , which say H559 , The evil H7451 shall not H3808 overtake H5066 nor prevent H6923 H1157 us.
|
|
11. On that day I will raise up the fallen hut of David; I will wall up its breaches, raise up its ruins, and rebuild it as in the days of old,
|
11. In that H1931 day H3117 will I raise up H6965 H853 the tabernacle H5521 of David H1732 that is fallen H5307 , and close up H1443 H853 the breaches H6556 thereof ; and I will raise up H6965 his ruins H2034 , and I will build H1129 it as in the days H3117 of old H5769 :
|
|
12. That they may conquer what is left of Edom and all the nations that shall bear my name, say I, the LORD, who will do this.
|
12. That H4616 they may possess H3423 H853 the remnant H7611 of Edom H123 , and of all H3605 the heathen H1471 , which H834 are called by H7121 H5921 my name H8034 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 that doeth H6213 this H2063 .
|
|
13. Yes, days are coming, says the LORD, When the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the vintager, him who sows the seed; The juice of grapes shall drip down the mountains, and all the hills shall run with it.
|
13. Behold H2009 , the days H3117 come H935 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 , that the plowman H2790 shall overtake H5066 the reaper H7114 , and the treader H1869 of grapes H6025 him that soweth H4900 seed H2233 ; and the mountains H2022 shall drop H5197 sweet wine H6071 , and all H3605 the hills H1389 shall melt H4127 .
|
|
14. I will bring about the restoration of my people Israel; they shall rebuild and inhabit their ruined cities, Plant vineyards and drink the wine, set out gardens and eat the fruits.
|
14. And I will bring again H7725 H853 the captivity H7622 of my people H5971 of Israel H3478 , and they shall build H1129 the waste H8074 cities H5892 , and inhabit H3427 them ; and they shall plant H5193 vineyards H3754 , and drink H8354 H853 the wine H3196 thereof ; they shall also make H6213 gardens H1593 , and eat H398 H853 the fruit H6529 of them.
|
|
15. I will plant them upon their own ground; never again shall they be plucked From the land I have given them, say I, the LORD, your God.
|
15. And I will plant H5193 them upon H5921 their land H127 , and they shall no H3808 more H5750 be pulled up H5428 out of H4480 H5921 their land H127 which H834 I have given H5414 them, saith H559 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 .
